Most of us can recall that time in our lives when we began to view our parents with the eyes of an adult, rather than through the rose tinted lenses of youth. In this beautifully shot short movie, Gigi Hadid bravely faces the prospect of discovering that the golden pedestal which she has placed her father upon, was actually made of rusting tin. We are there with her as she sees her father through the eyes of the young adult she has become, instead of with the 'Virgin Eyes' she has been using up to now.
I couldn't recommend this short movie enough. The tale it tells is timeless and while the method of the experience is different for all of us, it's one of those unavoidable rights of passage that's rarely been better expressed on film. The small cast was authentic and believable, especially the character played by Emina Cunmulaj who provided so much mystery and intrigue in just a few small scenes that it provided the film with just the right amount of necessary tension and suspense. It's a shame she seems to have not followed up this role with any other.
I would urge this short to anyone looking for a well made, well told story of a moment of profound change in a young girl's life.
